I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump. It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Every time I go some place new, I scour the are for cookbooks. I've got specific cookbooks from restaurants in Albuquerque. I've got a tiny, spiral-bound cookbook from… Continue reading Mushroom & Leek Migas
Creamy Brie Mushrooms
I've never understood how people dislike mushrooms. I get different tastes and all of that, but what's not to like about mushrooms? I've always been a big supporter of edible fungi. Portobello, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, morels...they're all my favorites. They all hold a special place in my heart. Mushrooms are love, mushrooms are life. I've… Continue reading Creamy Brie Mushrooms
